Acceptable Usage of Computers in the Library

Here at Sunnyside, we offer public computer access, here's just a few points to remember: - You can access our computers for an hour and a half anytime during our opening hours. - Do not use these computers to access inappropriate content, as the library and it's network are public. - Always bring a USB or some form of file backup, as the library is not responsible for any lost work/files. - Attempting to download large files such as movies is not advisable, as there is only so much the computers can download. - Headphones and similar listening devices must be worn when playing audio, as the library is intended to be a quiet place. Should you have any questions or concerns about the usage of our computers, feel free to contact us at SunnysideLibrary@gmail.com.au, or talk to one of our friendly team members 😊
